Knuckles:22
Rouge:23
Knuckles stood on the green pastures of his home, Angel Island. He peered down at Tails' and Elphaba's scene, walking together happily. Knuckles smiled. "Oh, Knuckie." A sexy voice called. Knuckles turned his head to see none other than Rouge the bat coming his way. She was about his height, white, with purplish-black wings, and a huge chest. (if you get my drift) She wore a heart-shaped shirt and black, tight, pants, along with white tights, and heels. She flew down to Knuckles. "Rouge what do you want?!" Knuckles said rudely. "Now is that anyway to treat a lady? All I wanted was to say hi."
"Well it's not. Then again you're not a lady." Rouge looked pissed, but kept her cool. "Well, now you got your wish. Hi, bye. Now go away!"
"Knuckie, do you really want me to go?" She said, with her charming voice, sneaking her hand onto Knuckles' shoulder. He blushed deeply. He didn't really want her to go. But if it meant protecting the Master Emerald and himself Knuckles had to make her leave. "Listen Rouge." Knuckles started, pulling away and turning his back to Rouge. "I have no time time for you." He said, crossing his arms. Knuckles then looked back down at Tails and Elphie. "Are you...spying?" Rouge asked him. "WHAT!? NO!"
"You are too. You're looking at Tails and...who or what is that!?"
"Elphaba." Knuckles told her.
"Is she sick or something?"
"No! She can't help but look that way! She was born green. But I wouldn't mess with her." He explained.
"Oh, yeah. What is she gonna do? Gross me out. Ha, too late."
"She's probably turn you into a icicle. If you're lucky that is."
"Please. The only thing she probably knows how to do is make others sick. I don't understand why Tails would choose her over Cosmo."
"You know Rouge! You're being really ignorant! Elphaba's different, we all are! But does that mean we bash her for that?! She's a green human, so what?! She isn't from here, so what?! She's a witch, big whoop!"
"She's a witch? That explains a lot." Rouge laughed.
"UGH!!! Forget it Rouge! I'm done explain this to you! But, if you're going to do anything that involves Elphaba. You;re going to have to get through ME first!" Rouge took a step closer to Knuckles, placed her hands on her hips, and just stared at him. Knuckles turned to her. "What?!" He asked, with irritation in his tone.
"You've fallen in love with her too. Haven't you?"
"What?! You're kidding right?! I mean I like Elphaba and all. But more like a brother then a lover."
"Is that why you're so pwotective of her big bwotha?" Rouge said, in her baby voice.

Knuckles turned beet red with anger. He threw is fist in the air and ran after Rouge. Rouge, however, took a step to the left out of Knuckles' way causing him to trip and fall. Then Rouge turned to him and kicked the back of his head before he could even get up. Knuckles finally pulled himself together and got up to his knees. "Alright you want a fight!?" He started. "I'll give you a fight you'll never forget!" Knuckles yelled, his head now facing her. His eyes were full of angry flames and meant that he was going to kick her ass. Suddenly Rouge's eyes began to fill with fury as well. "Bring it on!" She screamed. They fought for hours until they couldn't fight anymore. "Have you...*pant* had...*pant* enough?" Rouge asked, out of breath.
"HA! This is just the beginning!" Suddenly a dim blue light shined upon Knuckles. He looked up. As did Rouge. There, they saw Tails and Elphie on her broom in the star-filled night sky. Elphaba took her pointer finger and created "Hi Guys!" with the blue stars.
Then Tails and Elphaba waved to them. They waved back. And then the couple flew off. Suddenly Knuckles began to laugh. "What's so funny?" Rouge asked.
"Ha,ha,ha. Oh, i-it's nothing. I just remember the last time we fought like this."
(Flashback)
"So...do 'yah...give up yet?" Rouge panted.
"You kidding? I'm just warming up. Huh?" Knuckles said, looking up. It was a yellow streak flying across the moon. It was Super Sonic! He finally returned home from Earth! "That's him!" He exclaimed.
"Well whaddaya know." Rouge started. Knuckles turned to her, with a smile on his face. "I guess neither of us knows very much on how those "time warps" work."
"Ha,ha,ha. You look awful. Ha,ha,ha." Knuckles laughed.
"Oh, yeah!" Rouge said playfully pouncing on top of Knuckles, as she tickled him.
"Ha,ha, stop that tickles!" He laughed.
"Didn't I warn you to behave?"
"Alright ha,ha,ha. ALRIGHT!"
(Flashback over)

"I remember that." Rouge said. Then she got a smirk oh her face and started creeping closer to Knuckles. "That reminds me." She said slyly. Knuckles saw her expression and got a bit nervous. "Uh oh." He told himself. He tried to back away, but Rouge tackled him and began tickling his ribs rapidly. "Ha,ha,ha, Come on cut it out! Ha,ha,ha!"
"Say you're sorry."
"Okay,ha,ha,ha. I'm sorry. NOW STOP! Ha,ha,ha."
"Hmm, nah. I think I'll just have some fun with you."
The End.
